What is Computer Engineering?

Computer engineering is concerned with the design and implementation of digital systems such as computers, networks, processor embedded control systems, interfaces between computing systems, and interfaces between hardware and software.

career opportunities

Computers are used in almost every device or system manufactured today. The modern automobile has nearly 50 small embedded computers in it. The telephone communication system and the Internet are controlled with computer systems. Careers for computer engineers are found in all phases of the production and sales of these devices and systems: design, manufacturing, maintenance , marketing and sales. U. S. Corporations will need more than twice the present number of computer engineers by the year 2006. The demand for Computer Engineering graduates is expected to continue to rise over the next 20 years, outpacing the supply by large margins annually.
